Question Is 550W Enough for a GTX 770?

[danielhetherington12]

I have an XFX CORE PRO 550W PSU and a GTX 770 (8pin + 6 pin). Would this PSU be enough to support it? I know XFX power supplies are pretty good quality but I'm just making sure. Rest of my system is:

CPU - i5 2500
Motherboard - Intel DQ67SW
RAM - 2x4GB DDR3 1333
Storage:
- 120GB Samsung 850 Evo
- 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM

It should work and its made by Seasonic which is the best. Nvidia recommends a 550W PSU and you have a single 12V 44A 530W rail.

The specs from Nvidia's page are that the card can draw up to 230W, and they recommend 600W or more.

Now, Nvidia and AMD try to play it safe - if it's one of the Seasonic designs as @Zizo007 stated, then it should cover it. Might be a little closer than some people might be comfortable with.

BUT . . if this article is correct, then it's an older design that dates back to 2010. You might be pushing it with a video card that has that kind of power draw on an older PSU.

If the psu still works well are you fine.
